Conflicts on typescript compile

[vanhumbeecka]

On building my Typescript app, I noticed the following errors when running tsc:

yarn run v1.12.3
$ rm -rf dist && tsc
node_modules/@types/mongoose-geojson-schema/node_modules/@types/mongoose/index.d.ts:55:1 - error TS6200: Definitions of the following identifiers conflict with those in another file: NativeBuffer, NativeDate, NativeError, Mongoose, CastError, ConnectionBase, Connection, Error, VirtualType, Schema, MongooseDocument, Subdocument, Array, DocumentArray, Buffer, ObjectIdConstructor, Decimal128, Embedded, Query, DocumentQuery, mquery, Aggregate, SchemaType

Apparently, the typings of this package goes into conflict with those of mongoose itself. How to resolve this? Is this a bug in the typings of this package? Or a misconfiguration on my part? It's not clear to me at this point.

@vanhumbeecka If you had searched the issues first for "typescript", I think you would have found that this project is not written and in TypeScript and contains no TypeScript hinting. See #24 which links to the project which contains the TypeScript definitions for the project.

I'm closing this issue because the issue is not in this project.

For anyone who lands here (like me). The issue seems to be an incompatible version between @types/mongoose and @types/mongoose-geojson-schema.

I just resolved a similar issue by removing the version constraints off @types/mongoose in my package.json, so the package manager could figure out the correct compatible version after a fresh install.

In package.json:

"@types/mongoose": "*",
